Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Add the lime juice and toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
Cook the Chicken
- Grill or pan-fry the chicken over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked and slightly charred. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Assemble the Bowls
- Divide the cooked rice or quinoa between two bowls. Top with steamed or roasted broccoli and sliced grilled chicken. Drizzle with the Creamy Garlic Sauce and serve with lime wedges.
